Yes, yes yes! 5-game winning streak for Barangay Ginebra San Miguel in the Commissioner's Cup! Without, the reigning MVP, Mark Caguioa, without Kerby Raymundo (Get well soon!) and Rico Maierhofer, Ginebra just stepped on the gas and won this fifth consecutive game.

| The jersey says it all ;) |
Another mamaw performance for Vernon Macklin, he scored 32 points, 11 rebounds, 6 of them came from the offensive end, 2 blocks, 2 steals and 2 assists. He also improved his freethrow shooting, he made 12 out of 21 attempts, 57.1 %. As expected, LA Tenorio showed to fans that he can exploded in any given ballgame, with his double-double performance, 18 points & 11 rebound plus 6 assists and a steal, leading the charge for the locals. Though, the Ginebra squad missed the services of Caguioa, Raymundo and Maierhofer, Coach Al Francis Chua's "hugots" was a surprise to the Air21 Express especially Elmer Espiritu who hit a 3-pointer in the crucial last 3 minutes of the game.

Despite of the fiery 29 point explosion of KG Canaleta, it was not enough to surpass the defense of Ginebra who just allowed the Express to score 84 points. Michael Dunkin' Dunigan was fouled out in the late 4th quarter and just scored 16 points.
Oh yes, finally I'm a bit relieved that Ginebra will be in the Q-finals but before that, they must go out and play harder. There were times in the game that I just want to change the channel because some of their turnovers were unforgivable and they have some difficulties in communication and handling the ball. Fortunately, their defense saved them and they V-Mack was attacking inside the shaded area, though many of his hook shots failed at least he could somehow get it from the charity line. A win is a win anyway, they just need to be hard on defense and trust one another off and on the court. Yehey! <3 p="">
HAPPYLADY :D
